ERP Assessment

TXST is launching a project to evaluate ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems used for HR & Finance, and Student Information. Currently, TXST uses SAP and Banner (respectively) as our vendor solution. Our current solution is aging and as our university grows and evolves the need for a modern, scalable, solution is critical.

FAQs

We are exploring ERP solutions from three leading vendors:

Stakeholders from across the university are being assembled as our evaluation team. Vendors will also have campus-wide, interactive sessions showcasing each vendor's vision for TXST's future ERP system. Visit our ERP Assessment Team Members page to find out who is representing your area.
